05/02/05 Breaststroke Practice with Equipment

Was in NYC this weekend, and had another chance to practice at Asphalt Green -- short-course this time. This practice is 2500 yards. If you wanted to bump it up by another 800 or 1600 yards, you could do the main set a third and fourth time, switching the equipment around so that you did each segment (1 X 200...2 X 100...4 X 50...4 X 25) with a different piece of the equipment each time.WARMUP: 800With fins:100 Head-Lead "IM"100 Hand-Lead "IM"200 Single-Arm "IM"200 2L/2R "IM"Without fins:200 EZ breaststroke kickMAIN SET: 1600The idea on these swims is to swim the second half of everything faster than the first half. 1 X 200 Breast on 4:00 sendoff (went 1:40 + 1:35 = 3:15)2 X 100 Breast kick with board on 2:00 sendoff (went 55 + 50 = 1:45....53 + 50 = 1:43)4 X 50 Body-Dolphin Breast with fins on :55 sendoff (went 44...44...44...44)4 X 25 Whole-Stroke Breast with Pull Buoy on :35 sendoff (went 8.9.10.11 strokes and descend 23 to 19)100 EZ1 X 200 Breast kick with board on 4:30 sendoff (went 1:50 + 1:40 = 3:30)2 X 100 Body-Dolphin Breast with fins on 2:00 sendoff (went 1:33...1:32)4 X 50 Whole-Stroke Breast with Pull Buoy on 1:00 sendoff (held 47 on all)4 X 25 Breast on :35 sendoff (went 8...9.10.11 strokes and descend 21 to 19)100 EZWARMDOWN: 200200 EZTotal Yardage: 2500
